forcing seeds: relief

relief

All went well at the ultrasound. The baby measured 7 1/2 weeks, with a heartbeat of 159 bpm. Hurrah!

Mr. S was even more happy than I. He squeezed my foot when she said, "and there is the heartbeat, it looks great."
Huge sigh of relief!

We went and had a nice breakfast, then he went to work and I went to class.

I'll try and get a picture up soon.

We got our 'graduation' packet, and can either go for one more u/s next week, or move onto the OB. I think I'll see how long we have to wait for an appointment, and then decide.

Yay baby, yay heartbeat!

Congratulations! Get the ultrasound from your RE, because if you move to the OB, you probably won't be able to see baby until 12 weeks or so!

If you are anything like me, that is just way too long to wait :)
